Abstract

Method and apparatus for producing controlled steady state nuclear fusion with isotopes of low atomic numbers being the most useful reactants, such as Deuterium, Tritium and Helium3. The apparatus consists of a high voltage power supply and a high voltage spherical capacitor, constructed in such a way, that the outer shell is the anode and contained centrally within it, a hollow cathode, into which positive ions of the reactant gases can be injected through dielectric tubes and confined electrostatically within the cathode, until such high temperatures are reached, as to allow nuclear fusion to take place. The interior chamber of the cathode forms part of a hermetically sealed fuel circuit running through the capacitor, a turbo molecular pump is also connected in line with the fuel circuit, to drive the reactant gas through the reaction chamber. The fusion product, which is mainly high energy Neutrons, Protons and alpha particles, is consequently converted to heat in the dielectric medium contained within the space between the anode and the cathode, this heat can easily be extracted and converted into useful energy using known methods.
